Enough?

Really, what is enough?

My BuddhaNature tells me I have enough. The bins of yarn from MDSW suggest I have enough.

And Yet.

Bought 12 skeins of Cascade, 800 yards of some gorgeous laceweight, and some sock yarn at a LYS that I had never been to before. (We won't talk about books or addi turbo laceweight needles)

Now it's enough. I'm sure of it.

Maybe I just need to use skeins of yarn as home decor. And needles as hair accessories. It's not like I do great things regularly with them. I just like having them.

I know. Preaching to the choir.

Enough.

Yeah, so, that's exactly what I told myself yesterday as I was hitting the "order" button at the ramwools.com summer yarn sale. Let me know how it works out for you.

The problem with home decor from stash, as I see it, is the difficulty of mothproofing. And, yes, we are the choir.

Hmmm. I really don't think you have engouh. I'm sure there is always room for something else or at least that is what we tell ourselves as we are filling our carts. LOL

Yeah, I have told myself that many times - right before I buy more yarn!! Don't let me tempt you or anything but my blog post from yesterday shows some yummy alpaca yarn that we just got in yesterday!!!

I'm thinking of stapling the ziplock bags of yarn to my bedroom walls as soundproofing.
I certianly have enough to do the master bedroom. ;-)

It's just sensible to have tons of yarn. That way you're sitting pretty if there's a yarn shortage. Plus, you can never have too much Cascade.

First off....sock yarn doesn't count as stash.

And I know I have enough...yet I found more appearing on the doorstep that I had ordered from etsy. Even when you're home...you're not safe.

Heavy sigh...

Singing right along with ya.

Life is too short to worry about things like having too much yarn.

It's never enough. Even when you think it is, there's always some yarn out there ready to prove you wrong.

Books? What books?

La de da da da. You could arrange it all in the lovely wedding crystal that never sees the light of day anyway. Makes a lovely table centerpiece.
